    Yes Dave - I saw that as well.
    I'm hoping that AN and the team are 'older and wiser' now!!!

    Definitely.

    I would have said they same about Newcastle though. You just know it will be a Palace win. Pundits are talking us up, about our "great form, getting results" and "Palace are plummeting and looking in trouble". About how "Norwich would go joint on points with a win". It's so typical of football, and us, that we would lose this.

    I don't feel as worried or sick with nerves as I was for WBA or Newcastle. Think coz we finally banked some wins. I'll feel very nervous tomorrow, and I know I will be in a right state all week before Sunderland.

    If he stays fit I'd have him on the England bench. When needing a goal, he would sh*t defenders up every time we put the ball in the box. We don't have someone like that. Kane is closest, but he's still not in the same mould. A no fooling powerhouse who knows how to beat players to the ball, and get it in the net.

    I guess he could be useful as an 'impact sub' in the same mould as Rooney.
    At least Arsenal have equalised.

    I think we need a wide range of players. At the moment all our attackers are flair, good touch, beat a player, look to give a go.

    I'd like to see us have a player who just wants to get to that penalty area and score a goal.

    That game was brilliant. West Ham play some nice football.

    The text is missing from the above. It says Man U have lost 29 games since SAF retired, HIS last 29 losses were between 2007 and 2013!

    I love to see the occasional interloper gatecrash the pundits perceived "top six" <applause>
    Southampton, Palace, recently and West Ham and of course Leicester so far this season.
    If I wait long enough we (ncfc) might have a little flirt with it sometime...it's been a while! <yikes>

    Watching MotD last night and Stoke are really missing Butland. I thought Haugaard was at fault for at least a couple of the Liverpool goals - just a pity Butland played such a blinder when they came to CR, as had we got the win then, we would be much closer to our dream of PL survival. <ok>

    You can understand, but it's a shame the world has to be like this. I can't understand who has the money for that. A lot of rich people in Leicester?

    I couldn't believe it when I saw the story last night - I'm not convinced LCFC will take action. I can't believe some of the stories like a fan who's only missed 3 home games this season and can't get a ticket.

    It will still be Leicester members buying and re-selling those tickets. Some of the commenters make it sound like it's professional ticket touts buying them when it's just regular Leicester fans some of whom will be putting it out there in case some nutter wants to offer them a stupid amount for it.

    When you consider that a pair of tickets to see that (overweight, overrated, imho) Adele sing live went for over a grand <yikes> this is a veritable bargain <ok>

    While scouting for the next generation is all well and good for the continued success of the club, I can't help but feel far too much of our limited resources have been ploughed into this area - at the expense of the first team which, as we know, is far from secure this season :emoticon-0106-cryin
    McGrandles, Thompson, Maddison, now a McDonald's restaurant supervisor <yikes>

    I just feel if they'd focused on bringing in a decent CB at the start of the year, we wouldn't all be nail-biting and buttock-clenching now!
